The Red Bull Total Zero Cherry Edition Energy Drink

Last week I reviewed The Orange Edition energy drink from Red Bull’s Edition product line and the taste wasn’t that bad. So, I went out and got The Cherry Edition. Now, this Wild Cherry is also artificially flavored, with zero calories and zero sugar. In terms of the design on the can, the graphic, the font style, the placement and size are all the same across 5 Edition flavors, but there’s a subtle difference between the two Total Zero Edition flavors and the other three Edition flavors. The difference is that the body of the can for the Red, Blue and Yellow editions is filling with corresponding colors whereas the Total Zero Editions only the Bull filled with their Edition color.

The aroma came out from the can did not smell close to any fresh Cherry like aroma but instead it was similar to Cherry flavored candy. The texture and color were both looked similar to Vitaminwater without the carbonation. As for the taste, the first sip tasted lightly sweetened with subtle sour taste at the end after you swallow it down. After couple sips, you could sense the cherry flavor but it wasn’t that convincing and the reason for being that was because it’s total zero. Also, it tasted similar to other diet drinks but slightly better because of the level of cherry flavor was higher and recognizable than others. After finishing half of the can, the closest taste that you could compare to was the Cherry flavored candy. Even though on the can said it’s Wild Cherry, but it didn’t taste close to the Pepsi Wild Cherry. As for an energy drink, it did not taste like an energy drink that you would normally expect and it was much smoother to drink it. The aftertaste wasn’t that bad either.
